Excellent video with lots of good information about the bike. I'm looking at a 1999 year ZX9R that has been stored for the last 14 years. It will have to go to the bike shop for a check-over. Any specific concerns? I image there is no service history. The seller mentions a race tire on the front. I think it may haver been raced. Definitely will be checking that out as I would not want a bike that has been raced. Subscribed!

Great review and that induction roar, one of the best in motorcycling

Blues skies and an awesome road, what else do you need 😉 in life

Mine 9 is the purple silver & black, awesome bikes

I have now my second zx9r e1. After 20 years away from bikes I'm back on the seat. Raw power. Like the Lambo of bikes.

I never saw this bike taking curves, only straight ones

2000 ZX9R 2nd owner/ green 7 years of ownership- gone through it fluids - pads - bearings - fuel pump/ filter/ going on 4th set of tires / valves adjusted/ got it from original owner who had it in his offices w/ 7000k miles Changed out chain and sprockets to 520 Found a new stock windshield on eBay 3 trophies from shows🎉 Previous owner put on Hindle header😎 Keeper. Just

Great review.

Your last bike before this ZX9R was the Honda VFR800???? Yes! That was my last bike too. Now I'm looking at one of these 1st-gen ZX9Rs because I've always loved them too. As a former VFR800 owner, what are the main differences between this bike and that bike? What are the main similarities?

Great vid

is it H1n?

I have 2 blue E1's that have 60k on each, 1 nice one and 1 donor. I'll never sell either because I know I'll regret it

Have an 97 agree with all said!!!😁

thank you for this video, reaally helped a lot on finding the best settings or at least a starting point. I find the sound inside the helmet very good also but that sound from h4n is incredible!

Great video, just started out myself! Sub all the way from NI! ✌🏻

Hi did you ever change the brake pads on the zx9 or do you know what bike they came off of? I have this bike currently and want to put new discs and pads on it but unsure with the caliper change,thx

That red is awesome.

I don't know, for £2.5k you're probably not going to lose anything. Suspect you've got more bike than the speed triple right there. I'd keep it

I always use input of 5 and amplify in audacity

I have a blackbird XX 1100 but more I see the zx9r it's making me want to buy one

i think H4N 0.5 setting is better under seat audio! good!!

I have a 14R but i'm seriously thinking of buying one of these for the exhaust note -.- Maybe for next winter....

I wish N.Ireland had a bigger bike scene.

Just bought a 2000 E1, 18k miles in green, absolutely mint condition £1800 with a good few extras and i love it

This would be much more apples to apples if you had a dead cat on the H1 as well. Hard to compare when the h1 is wrapped in microfiber and the H4 has a proper dead cat

I have just bought back the zx9re1 i rode to Portugal in 2013. 2500 miles in 2 weeks. Best bike ive ever owned. Comfy, fast(never had anything get away from me, good on fuel. Got rid of my zzr1100 to get it. I love it❤❤

The H1 mics are pretty sensitive. Not shocking that you are going to have to run it at about 2-5

Should have got a Black bird if u want torque and power with all day comfort 4 a good price

Got an E1 myself just 24k on the clock,had 18 k when I got it three years ago, I've upgraded the brake hoses with a total caliper refurb,K&N filters ,Powerbronze screen, Renthal sprockets and decent rubber ..... There's nothing I'd swap it for 😎

hi guy i have bougth an zx9r E2 bad condition ,but i have refurbished it,now it s an incredible bike with some extra performance parts ,you can touch an gsxr 1000 K5 level performance or R1 rn22 .The bike is lovely and motor still got the fire as is got 40000 miles,no realiability problem,a real top bike for nearly nothing

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm currently restoring an E1 that I picked up fairly cheap recently. I haven't ridden one yet, but having watched this I'm even more excited to get it finished.

Thank you brother that’s helps me lot

From Denmark, Hi there, cool MC, I myself have a ZX9R from 1994, the first model. It has driven 39,000 miles and runs fine. I regret that I didn't know the difference between the first ones and those that came in 1998, From 1998 it will be completely rebuilt and lose 32kg+ many other improvements are being made. Had I known, I wouldn't have bought a 1994 model. I have tried a 1999 model and it is a completely different MC to ride than my old tank. Have now had it for 7 years and never want to get rid of it. Mine is green and black, and with a black frame, so it's very nice.

30K miles is nothing :P

I bought a zx9r days ago, I hope have good adventures .

Had my blue one for 7 months now ,a 1998 c1 model . Replaced the chain and sprocket to a gold one …bikes fantastic Regards Dave from Scotland

Thanks for the comparison. Very appreciated!

I’m 6’3” would I fit without looking goofy ? What about other options still in sportbikes sector

Lovely road, but you should work on that choppy throttle hand and cornering in particular. Look forward to finally riding this next year! Did it loads when I was younger but in a car.

Really enjoyed watching the video, seeing it from a motorcyclist's perspective, I recently drove this road in a campervan. You have a new subscriber!

Great review fantastic bike looking buying one myself what year is yours

I had an 01 an I sold it a few months back to get my dads bike. I do miss it, I absolutely loved it such an amazing bike.

Thanks for the honest straightforward video, great stuff! Safe ride!

thanks for comparison

Thanks for that my H1 arrived today, useful to know I need to turn the gain right down 👍 I’ll test it as soon as it stops raining 🙄

Antrim coast is the best to me.

Nice road nice sounding bike defo kwacker zx9.?

I have a zx12r now but I used to have a 2000 zx9r an I absolutely loved it, never missed a beat, handled great and never had a problem keeping up with the more modern sports bikes. The zx9r was an underrated bike, I was gutted when I sold it on

FF to 7 min to get past the bird shit drama
